A COMpARINnN

In the ffty-two years during which
Memphis was governed from 1897 10 1870
by the old form Of Municipal Govern
mont, n sun Of over SEQ 900, 900 was col
lecied in taxes and bonds and disbursed
by the successive Boards OF Mayor and
Alderman, and in 1870, when the Taxing
District was organized, there was little
to show for all this money besides twelve
miles Of rotting Nicholson pavement and a
debt of 80, 3OO,0 900, the assessed values OF
the city having been reduced in that time
from $40, 900, 900 TO sl2, 500, 600. These facts
must never he lost sight OF by the people
OF Memphis. They should bc constantly
kept before them, especially when an
official like Judge Galloway denounccs the
Taxing Districts rs a bastard gov
ernmenL What is the record OF the
Taxing District government, Why,
in eight years, since 1880, il has con-
structed iorty-Gve miles Of sewers, put
down thirty or more miles Of dHir tiles,
and paved twenty or more miles Of strcots
with stone, cedar blocks "a great mistake,
by tho way and McAdam, audit has paid
cash for IL all, and has paid the frcmen
and policemen, and the laborers It has em-
ploycd, every month with recurring regu-
luity. Not only that--lt has adjusted the
debt Of Memphis, paid of some Of the
bonds, and has paid nearly two years Of
interest on the compromise bonds. There
is really no room TO contrast the Taxing
District with the old form OF government.
The latter was too bad TO admit Of COM
parison with it, The Taxing District gov
eminent stands for sweeping reform,
and is the best that has ever
been devised to keep tho
affairs OF a city out Of the clutches Of the
ward politician and away from the cliques
made up OF men who are politicians for
profit. Tho Taxing District governments
record is clean and clear. II stands fully
justified by tho decision OF Chancellor
Estes, in tho only act for which it could,
by an extreme and captious construction
Of the law, have been questioned. It is a
good government and Is worthy the conf.
dencc and support OF the people.

.Thai's the Ticket

To the Editor OF The Appeal.
SIRIUS APrRAL In right, ns usual.
Gen. Patterson should be elected TO the
vacancy on the board OF fire and police
commissioners made vacant by the ~retracy
Of Maj. Petit. The man who talks parti-
san politics or who votes ON the partisan
political basis when the Taxing District
officers arc 20 be selected should DO

matter. and commissioners should be
elected on the ~Jefferonian theory Of hon
csty, capability and fidelity. II IL a mat
ter Of no earthly importance whether Gen.
Patterson is in favor OF %anncxing Canada,
or n high tariff man, an advocate OF an in
tcrnAtiOnL copyright, or n believer in the
theory that the Chinese discovered Amer

Democrat. The bold fact confronts tho
people that they want for commissioner an

man is Patterson. lie has been tried and

over the whole road, and II there Is a man
in Memphis better qualified, we would
like 10 have somebody name him. Then

SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.

rs AtaNN
The Nauticai Magazine states that DR..
Duprc, the government expert. has r-
ported against the theory Of spontaneous
combustion In the cotton cargo Of tho
steamer City Of Montreal. which was
burned at sea last August. The doctor ex-
penmen,ed with samples Of somo Of the
sane consignment Of cotton NJ made up
tho Montral's cargo. and found that Il
contained only 7-i0 Of per cent Of oily
matter, aud that this was 20 diduscd that,
even II the oil wcrc oxidired, Il would not
raise the temperature TO anything like the
hight necessary 10 cause combustion. The
temperature at which burning takes place
is usually oonsidcrd TO DO 1000 Fahrcn-
heit. Dr. Ddprc also expressed the opin.
ION. that even u n bale OF cotton were
placed on one Of the boilers Il would
not take Gre. In this the doctor may
DO right, but Memphis cotton men

ADJUSTMENTS.
Memphis TIaeater.

The Emma Abbott opera troupe will
open a weeks engagement tonight in Mar
chetti's opera, "Ruy Bias which is full Of
highly dramatic music and OF melody. The
opera contains attractive solos, duets and fine
choruses. The organization this season is
composed OF Emma Abbott, prima donna
.assoluta; Lizzie Annandale, contralto;
Michelena and Montegriffo, tenors; Will
lam Pruettc, baritone; William Brodorick,
basso; Walter Allen, Misses Fricke, Beau
mont and nalano, and a new priraa donna,
Mile. Helene Bertram. The chorus and
orchestra remain underth direction Of Sig.
Tomasi. During her visit in Europe last
summer Miss Abbott secured the right to
produce in this country M~archetti's charm
ing opera, "Ruy Bias" founded on Victor
llugo's romance OF that name. Those who
have heard 1t say that there are very many
passages to remind one Of Meycrbeer's
"Huguenots." Tho first act OF "Ruy
Bias opens with the air, 81, an exile"
Tor Don Sallust, who has just been on
demned to Punishment through the in
huence Of the Queen Of Spain. AS the air
closes Ruy Bias appears, stands for q mo-
lnent gazing on the portrait Of the Queen,
then breaks into a ripping melody OF
alteration, which Don Sallust oyerhears.
Then follows a spirited duet, in which
Don Sallust draws Ruy Bias into his plot.
The next scene is the garden of the royal
palace, where the Queen appears in n
%lamentation over the lonely life led by her
in the palace, followed by n joyous burst
OF Renaissance, as she dwells on the hap
piness of the life in her native Germany.
The second net opens with the chorus OF
the noblemen assembled in council. Ruy
Bias enters and denounces them. AS the
nob'emen retire the Queen enters, and
here occurs tho love duet, which is the
gem OF the opera. IL IL a dreamy and ex-
pressiye duet, tinged with apathos that fore
shadows the tragic climax. In the last act
there is q fine air for Ruy Blas-a beautiful
lyric lament for the dream that is past.
The final scene IL where Ruy Bias dies in
tho arms OF the Queen, after having killed
Don Sallust. Mis- Abbott has been highly
successful in the part Of Marie Theresa,
Queen Of Spain, and will be supported by
her entire and excellent company in this
new production.
